Answer:

B.) A disturbance that carries energy

Explanation:

The complete statement that describes a wave would be :

A wave is a disturbance that carries energy from one place to another

Other listed options are incorrect because:

Incorrect : A.) A collision of particles ---------> Conduction

Incorrect : C.) A movement of fluids ----------> Convection

Incorrect : D.) A group of electrically charged molecules ----------> Radiation

[ Correct on Edgenuity ]

Hope this helps you have a better understanding ! :D

Have a wonderful day !

Heather and Jerry are standing on a bridge 60 m above a river Heather throws a rock straight down with a speed of 14 m/s. Jerry,
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

Time elapsed   = 2.856

SECOND ROCK HAS FASTER SPEED

Explanation:

This can be achieved in 2 ways, and it is clear from the careful study that the travel time is attributed to the time required to cross the path above the bridge by the 2nd stone  i.e.

14 = 9.8 * t

t = 1.428 sec and

time between 2 splash  = 2 * 1.428 = 2. 857 sec

2nd way

let time for 1st spalsh be t and

second splash be t1.

from equation of motion

so 60 = 14t + 0.5 * 9.8 * t * t

4.9 t^2 + 14t -60 = 0

On solving, we get t = 2.351 sec

for t_1, we have some extra time, which can be divided into t2 and t3.

14 = 9.8 * t2

t2 = 1.428 sec  

total time taken by 2 is

T = 1.428 + 1.428 + 2.351

so we get t_1 = 5.207 sec

time elapsed is  = T - t

                           = 5.207 - 2.351

Time elapsed   = 2.856

A balloon filled with helium gas has an average density of rhob = 0.22 kg/m3. The density of the air is about rhoa = 1.23 kg/m3.
MissTica

Answer:

a=g\left(\frac{\rho_a}{\rho_b}-1\right)

45.03681 m/s²

Explanation:

F_b = Buoyant force

W = Weight of the balloon

\rho_a = Density of air = 1.23 kg/m³

\rho_b = Density of balloon = 0.22 kg/m³

v_a = Volume of air

v_b = Volume of balloon

F_b=\rho_av_bg

W=\rho_bv_bg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

The net force acting on the balloon is

F=F_b-W\\\Rightarrow F=\rho_av_bg-\rho_bv_bg\\\Rightarrow \rho_bv_ba=\rho_av_bg-\rho_bv_bg\\\Rightarrow \rho_bv_ba=v_bg(\rho_a-\rho_b)\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{g}{\rho_b}(\rho_a-\rho_b)\\\Rightarrow a=g\left(\frac{\rho_a}{\rho_b}-1\right)

The equation is a=g\left(\frac{\rho_a}{\rho_b}-1\right)

a=g\left(\frac{\rho_a}{\rho_b}-1\right)\\\Rightarrow a=9.81\times \left(\frac{1.23}{0.22}-1\right)\\\Rightarrow a=45.03681\ m/s^2

The acceleration of the balloon is 45.03681 m/s²

Which of the following is not a characteristic of the source of rivers and streams?
MrRa [10]
<span>The water is  clearer, has higher oxygen levels, and freshwater fish such as trout and heterotrophs can be found. In the middle of the river, the width increases, so do the species of  aquatic green plants and algae. Toward the mouth of the river, the water becomes murky from all the sediments that it has picked up upstream.<span>
